A Miniature Acoustic Recording Tag: Applications to Assess Marine Widelife Response to Sound
Abstract
Understanding the interaction between manmade sound and marine wildlife on the scale of populations demands large sample sizes across many species. Recognizing this, Greeneridge Sciences, Inc. partnered with five separately-supported investigators to accelerate transition of its miniature acoustic recording tag, the Bioacoustic Probe. The tag quantifies the acoustic stimuli experienced by a subject while monitoring changes in the subject's dive behavior that may be associated with its sound exposure. The collaborative use of this technology has yielded new data on the association of behavior with acoustics for blue, fin, humpback, and sperm whales, northern fur seals, and blacktip reef sharks.
